You're absolutely right that Alexa is flawed because there is not a direct relationship to the volume of traffic and your Alexa ranking. There are many sites that dwarf the traffic numbers that I have yet my Alexa ranking continues to rise. I'd love a free site review so I will drop you a note. @Pyramus :: Thanks!

Why Alexa is used as a measurement baffles me. My software development blog had 4 times the uniques you had in a month but your Alexa is 10 times what mine is. I guess it's all about who has the toolbar installed that visits your site. As for what worked for me to build traffic, it was mainly working niche social media rather than Digg or Stumble. On the Technorati authority, I'm offering free site reviews on OpTempo so just drop me an email if you would like to add one to your authority number. Good work.

Oddly enough the trip has been so fast I haven't had much time where it has felt like a long road. These past seven months have been a blur. @Sarah :: Lol, I don't think you have anything to worry about with Damien. I love the passion/addiction he has for his blog and it really comes through. @Bobby :: Lol, I've got quite the secret huh! Let me explain - my blogging for money posts include earnings from my personal finance blog as well and that is where most of the AdSense is coming from. Up until last week I had AdSense here as well but it wasn't earning more than a few dollars so I pulled the plug for now. @Simon :: Thanks buddy!

Maybe I should start being nicer, lol. Damien is just about to his 1 year anniversary with his blog and just as addicted as day one. It's true love :) Uh oh, I hadn’t heard about the 7 year itch in regards to marriage, we are about to enter into year six. Maybe I should start being nicer, lol.
